We need to remember how blessed we are and not dwell on the things of the past. We need not be ungrateful for what God has done for us and not be jealous of others who may seem to do better. We should never compare ourselves with others. We should be reminded to keep our minds on things above and not on this earth. Also we need being reminded that our past sins are removed as far as the east is from the west and we should be moving forward to overcoming. Things like hurt feelings, bitterness, self-pity, grudges, angry tempers, etc. should not even be named amoung us. We need to understand the "human dilemma". Also, we should live in simplicy. And our prayers should not be made using meaningless repititions, but should be heart felt with tears and desperation for God to hear us and to move on our behalf.
